Port Royale 3 Pirates and Merchants

The only way to play Port Royale 3 Pirates and Merchants with a Logitech Rumblepad 2 or Dual Action Gamepad seems to be using some key to pad mapping tool like xpadder.

Now with this game being released for the XBOX 360 and the PS3, using gamepads, why did not the PC developers think of all the millions out there wanting to play this on there PC using their usual setup with a GAMEPAD, please we are living in the 21st century, it should be up to the consumer to choose their way of playing, not to be forced into the old ways of keyboard and mouse...

Yes my HTPC that I use for games don't even have those hooked up, and even if I did hook them up, it would not be a great experience, since they wont do well in the sofa...

Hopefully next time we'll get pad support for the games...
